About Symphony Of Janan Ang Pagpapahayag Ng Paglalarawan

Sa pamamagitan ng pagsusuri sa disenyo, maliwanag na mapansin ang pagtutok ng taga-disenyo sa mga mahahalagang katangian ng parehong kabayo at seahorse, na nagbibigay sa disenyo ng lakas at kagandahang kinakatawan ng mga ito. Sa klasikal na wikang Arabe ang Janan ay nangangahulugang ang pinakamalalim na silid ng puso, kung saan ang pinakadalisay na anyo ng damdamin ay ipinahayag. Gamit ang mga geometric na hugis at simbolo ng taga-disenyo na konektado, ang disenyo ay nagbibigay ng daloy at naglalarawan ng lalim. Isinama niya ang puso sa karakter at ang susi, na lumikha ng isang bono at pagkakaisa sa pagitan nila.

Unique Properties
Fictional design combines two characters, each with special attributes.
Strength of a horse, and delicacy and tenderness of a seahorse.
Linked by ornamented heart that holds a key lock.
The key evolves from a heart shape in its core that holds it and creates a fundamental connection with the character.
The designer used a variety of geometric shapes across the design to give a sense of flow and movement in order to connect with the character and reflect upon its expressions.
Dimensions & Packaging

Production Technology
The initial sketch was done free hand aimed to create a homogenous flow of all the thoughts gathered pertaining the subject of my piece.
Revisiting the visual concept was essential in order to create a high degree of consistency to establishing perfection within every corner of the drawing, considering the density of Janan’s structure.
I have also adopted traditional methods of depicting shapes and carefully applied it within the relevant scope of my drawing.
Following the sketch development stage, came the digital aspects of applying the technical skills utilized through illustrator and Photoshop.
Design Challenge
The characters varied greatly in their physical form, and finding a way to merge them
into one without compromising their significant attributes was a challenge.
Another minor obstacle was adding the components that support and complement the design in a compatible and consistent way while making sure they anchored the message and purpose of the design.
Research
I went through multiple methods for my research, such as art books, internet, documentaries, and searching deeply within the Ethology of animals and their behaviors.
I got valuable support from people that shared the love of animals.
I also had enough information in my arsenal to dive deep into developing the idea in an original style.
Inspiration
Inspired mostly by the characteristics of the seahorse, a little creature living in the vast harsh ocean.
A delicate creature yet showing a powerful sense of love through an unbreakable bond with its eternal dance partner.
I had the urge to mix this with the untamed nature of a wild horse waiting for its companion.
The research varied between finding the characters with the desired emotions and the right elements to bond with the characters and develop the purpose behind the design.
Project Duration
The project started in Feb 2017 and finished in Sep 2020 in Dubai
Operation Flow
This design could be a standalone printed as an artwork, Or it could be transformed into a 3d form and used as a still or animated character.
It can be physically sculptured and used as an art-decor element using metallic materials, hand made or factory production.
The objects are very flexible to use, it's been created using adobe illustrator and Photoshop, and can be operated in many ways.
